论罗马称霸地中海世界的宗教因素

The Religious Factors of Rome's Supreme Power Over the Mediterranean Area

罗马使地中海世界和三大陆的广袤内地实现了统一,并长期维持了这种统一。与神同在的直感以及宗教仪式、活动把罗马人更紧密地联系在一起,鼓舞着他们的士气。虔诚、爱国、勇敢、荣誉和自我克制,是罗马人的民族精神,也是其由小而大战胜一个又一个敌人的重要原因。罗马人既把泊来之神为己所用,也用人之神还治其人,在军事征服中注重维系宗教情感,在政治统治和行政管理中注入宗教色彩,这些均显示了罗马文化自己独特的个性。

Ancient Rome conferred a unity on the Mediterranean area and on vast hinterlands on three continents lasted for a long time. The intuition of jointed with Gods, religion ceremony, as well as practice made Roman together tightly. Piety, patriotism, brave, honour and self-restraint as well proved successful for generation after generation and transfered and attracted themselves to the power. To borrow and incorporated in their own religion deities who had been worshiped in defeated nations and governed with them in turn and pay attention to hold together religion feeling in particular is a character of Rome distinctive culture.
